Peapod Announces Pick-Up Service and Celebrates a Birthday (plus a giveaway!)
I am always excited when a good service or product becomes even better. It was nearly 5 years ago that I first wrote about Peapod, the food home delivery service. I talked about how the warehouses work, as well as some feedback on the Peapod experience. While we don’t order groceries all the time, I still find it useful for weeks when I’m not feeling well or have too much going on. Something that hasn’t changed, though, is the challenge of finding a window for delivery when I know I’ll be home and free to receive groceries. Peapod knows that’s a challenge, so they have announced Pick-Up Service. You shop with Peapod as normal and then choose a one-hour Pick-Up window at your local store instead of a (longer) Delivery Window. Swing by the store, pull up to the Pick-Up area, and they will load your car with groceries. You can use your coupons and you’ll still earn your gas rewards and A+ School Points, just like shopping in-store. Best of all, for a limited time, the service is free!
Some of my favorite parts about shopping via Peapod:
- I can shop on the go with their mobile app.
- I can shop from a list of items I’ve purchased in the past, both via Peapod and in-store.
- I can filter for products that are nut-free (as well as other nutritional filters).
- I can quickly see everything that is on sale.
- I can either search for something specific or browse the aisles, just like I do in the store.
- I can shop in the middle of the night.
- I can save my cart and finish later.
You may not realize this, but Peapod is 25 years old! In honor of Peapod’s 25th anniversary and of their new Pick-Up service, I’ve got an opportunity for you to try it out for yourself with a $50 gift card. Please take a moment to visit Peapod.com and see if they deliver or have pick-up service in your area (gift card can also be used at Stop & Shop, Giant, and Martin’s Food Markets).

Don’t forget to fill out the Rafflecopter widget to be eligible to win!
Disclosure: We received a free shopping experience (groceries) with Peapod’s Pick-up service, as well as some additional groceries. There was no additional compensation or promise of a positive review, and the opinions contained in this post are my own.

Shopping with children is my least favorite thing! I focus much better alone! :)
I don’t like when i can’t find something. I wish they had an in store app too where I could enter the product into my phone and it told me the aisle/section.
I would love this. I alway’s wait until we are almost out of everything because I hate grocery shopping so much. Shopping for 5 we go thru a ton of groceries and I am stuck doing myself which I hate.
I can’t stand the crowds especially with the carts. It’s hard to maneuver at times through the aisles.
I don’t like when theres a ton of people and I have to wait in line.
taking the kids to the store
I hate the long lines and crowds.
I don’t like how hard it is to find simple products at times even with the signs telling you what each aisle contains.
EVERYTHING? Going with my kids is the worst, though. It just makes me want to crawl in a hole.
The crowds…trying to maneuver around others with the cart… Difficult with a disability.
I overshop in the store!
I am constantly thinking of the other things i could be doing when I am shopping :-)
reading, writing, going somewhere fun with my family…
The lines, or taking the kids and them getting in other peoples way.
My least favorite thing is buying stuff we don’t need or overbuying. Peapod is the best for helping with that.
I don’t like the crowds.
I hate taking my kids to the store.
